Not too bad with excellent location & lovely staff

The hotel is decent. It is a little old looking and a touch run down however the staff are lovely and the location is perfect! So actually for what we needed it was great. We weren't sure about breakfast as nobody mentioned anything so we ended up not going for breakfast at all. The bar serve a good selection of drinks and there is music on at the weekend which is a nice touch.

I stayed with my child in a twin room, a lovely window seat on looking the sea to the side, tea and coffee with complimentary biscuits. Beds very comfy, warm and clean room with a large shower bathroom with complimentary hand soap, shower gel and body wash. Modern and clean areas, the door to our room was abit awkward to lock but after a few attempts we managed. The bar and restaurant area downstairs is inviting, staff friendly and helpful. Car parking is on the street or plenty car parks outside along the harbour and car parks in multiple places by the shore front, all easy access, easy walking distance and free.

A little bit of consistency goes a long way!

The location was perfect, Port Patrick is a secret piece of happiness. The Hotel easy to get too, however no parking on-site but the surrounding area is FREE however its a free for all if you can get close enough if not the harbour carpark is just 2 min walk up the road and again its FREE! The Family room we were in was very big but the bathroom tiny. The view from the room was amazing. It was clean and all we needed for a 1 night stop over. The Breakfast was nice, however my partner asked for a pouched egg instead of fried and was told NO! Then the next table asked for Scrambled egg instead of fried and was told YES which angered my partner immensely! (Poached egg was also on the menu). The cleaner was very friendly the other staff ummmmm Would we stay again maybe not, their seems to be a few options in the close vicinity but don't let the non-poached eggs put you off for the money its not bad x

Excellent position overlooking seafront. Low ceilings and steep stairs to attic room but understandable given age of building. No dedicated parking but can park close by (free) provided not at a busy time with daytrippers. Excellent meals served in bar.

Great vaue for money , in fact unbelievable to stay for under £60 , room for two inc breakfast . We were in room 7 , clean , warm and quirky due to sloped ceilings but that adds to character . Only blemish is repairs required around bay window but not the end of the world . Stairs to climb but worth it for a great view . Fantastic shower with loads of hot water and pressure . Breakfast was hot, plentiful and tasty with plenty continental choice as well . Would stay again in a heartbeat . Thanks for a lovely stay in a great wee village .
